A modern prophet thus predicts of tbe total eclipse of the sun, which takes place on the 22d of December inst: , , This will be one of the greatest of modern total eclipses of the sun that has ever taken place; .'for not only does it occur when the moon is particularly near ' the oarth, but at a period when the earth is nearest the sun, and also at the time of tha Winter solstice, the moon likewise occulting in the planet Saturn, the planet Venus on the same daj being in configuration with the moon, one degree sis minutes South, the. moon at the time approaching j..herconj auction with the planet Mercury, -whieh Latter body will be only one degree nineteen minutes south of the moon. Tn tha onnosite cart of the heavens. rr r j j both the planets' Jupiter (one degree seven minutes north), and the planet Uranus (only fifty-six .. minutes south of the tuoon), at a period " when the planet' J upiter ia- approaching an op- position to the sun,' which will take place ou the 13th ef December, ex e cuing a most powerful reciprocal attractive influence on each other, by the combined influence thus exercised by the sun, the. moon, Mercury, Venusj Jupiter, Uranus and the earth, all being near in a right line, a configuration that has not taken place for centuries, and which seldon occurs; consequently the effects on the earth will be considerable creating earthquakes, tidal waves, . storms, hurri canes, and cyclones. Similar config. orations, were present at the time of the total eclipse of the 16th of August, 186S, when Quito and Callao were destroyed , b earthquakes and tidal waves: but even then the influences were some what le than they will be on the 22d of December next. . -4 Trie eclipse will begin in tbe North Atlantic Ucean, the central line moving in a ' South-easterly direction. Crossing one part of Spain and the Mediterranean Sea, it enters Africa near Oran, and soon afterward attains its Southern limits. . The shadow of the moon ' now moves in a Northeasterly direction and leaves Atric a, and crossing the island of Sicily, the South of Turkey, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Axof disappears. .: . . .. "The penumbra of the moon decreasing rapidly, ; leaves the earth with the setting sun in" Arabia. ' ,,Th sun will be centrally and totally eclipsed at noon in latitude thirty-six degrees thirty-eight" minutes North, longitude '.five degrees, one minute West, a little to the Northeast of Gibraltar, and near the Lisbon coast, creating tidal waves and earth quakes here of great , severity, agitating the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Bay of Funday, and the Gulf of St Lawrence. :. - - " ' -t ' A WOXDEUFCL FOEXOIIESOlf : L: A SlAft-valar meteoric STbower. ' Yor several days, ' says the Mobile Register of Sunday .'last. : there have been mysterious and vague rumors of a most remarkable meteorological phenomenon out at the . Catholic graveyard on Stone street,' above' the three' mile creek. -: It is asserted by those' who have seen it, that - for the last five days a gentle shower , has fallen continuously on the lot of the Le-moine family,' in which are buried Mr. Victor Lemoine and many others of his family. ; With a view tf getting at the facta of thlav t most extra ordinary affair we had last night an interview with Mr. L. D. Leuoiue, employed at Asa Holt's, a son of the deceased Victor Lemoine, who died in 1851, who related : the iollowins startling particulars: . , h - Having heard that it was reported. that it had been raining for several days on the inalosod : ground which forms. my family's burying-ground in tbe . Uuthoiic graveyard on Stone street, above the Three Mile creek, I drove out there last evening to satisfy myseir, ana to my astonishment A saw that a column of rain was coming down without ceasing, whioh, although not powerful enough to lay the dust was enough to wet tbe hands or any article of clothing, and at times' it rained quite hard- i Ihe volume - of rain fell inside the .inclosure and nowhere else, as the . weather was and has been bright and clear all the time during the five ' days . the rain has been falling ou - these graves. There are thirteen of mv family buried in the lot of ground upon which the rain has been falling.: My mother, brother, and - sisters visited the spot yesterday and tbe day before to satisfy themselves about the truth of this matter, and declare that they too saw this wonderful phenomenon. It has also been seen by over 200 persons. I took a friend with me when I visited the spot, who also saw the rain falling as described. Mr. John Rosset, the keeper of the cemetery, told me that the rain had commenced falling in heavy drops about five days ago. I am willing to take my oatn as to the truth of the statement." . So incredible did this extraordinary affair seem that those who saw it several days ago refrained from stat-iug or asxertiag what they have seen for fear that not only their veracity, bat their sanity would be questioned, and it was not until a number of gen tlemen of the firat respectability had seen and reported the result of their personal observation, any credence was attached to the truth of the mat ter. . Take it altogether, it is the most astounding; and miraculous atuios pheric wonder that has ever been wit nessed in this part of the world, and will doubtless afford iood for thought, research and observation, not only among scientific men, . but among all classes. There are so many to vouch lor the truth of Mr. JLemome s state ment and his character for veracity is suchj that there can no longer be any doubt of the fact that : it - has been raining for the past five days on the graves of bis kindred. TtpaSovtb Carolina Farce. Every day there reaches us fresh inteligence of the fraudulent manner by which the recent election has been carried. These are nukrant, and sum cient to set aside the whole election, if there was any tribunal to which justice and right could make its appeal.' In this county alone, outside of the city, armed colored bands, styling themselves the "militia," surrounded the polls and ' insisted upon inspecting the ' tickets of the voters, and thus,-to a ' great extent, either drove off those of the ' colored race who wished to vote the Reform ticket or iotimidated them into i the support of the - Radical nominee.: ' The few white men present were powerless. They voted in peril. - In , some cases they were not permitted to vote,at all. This was- the case at ' the Wappataw Church polL . And so with. - others Colored women, in some parts of the State, were allowed to vote for their sick husbands, lni many ; portions neither managers nor voters were sworn. In some counties more votes were cast than wales over 21 years of age, as taken by the recent - United States census.. And we doubt not, when the returns are all in, it will be fouud that where the Radicals had the supremacy, to produce the result, nearly every colored person over seventeen yea's of age was permitted to vote. Thus, with the intimidation on the one hand, and . the utmost license and fraud, it ; is not astonishing that the Reform - party should have been defeated- ; No movement can ever be successful where .'here is not permitted a fair, free, and unbiased election. . For . instance, what would be thought of an , election in New York,. where the Radical party alone should be allowed to go armed to the polls; where they demanded the inspection of ..votes; where they charged and destroyed obnoxious biL lotboxes; where they .voted minors and women: where those,: of the op posite party had their tickets destroy- ea aua ineir , votes , lnumiaaiea, tor exercising their right in the presence of an armed mob? Who ever heard before, in the history , of a free elec tion, ef the managers and Coramta sioners of Elections being fall appointed by the chief candidate for office himself, all of one party, many of them candidates for office, and of their having the custody and the counting of the votes tn an election which tbey were personally interested?.' We will venture to say that such an election, where there has ' been the slightest pretence to therihtof ballot, is with out a parallel. In tbe ' past, the in telligence and the real voice of South 1 j I. Carolina hare had no audience at the North.- ' Its appeal to candor, justice and right, have been ; unheeded. ' Its statement of the real condition of affairs, and its just demands against oppression under ihe ; forms of law; the worst sort of tyranny, and for honest government have been ic vain.- The ear of the North . is. eagerly 'lent to those who are the ' defamers of the State", and who have trampled under foot every vestige of liberty, violated every sentiment of right, and brought the State to the . very: verge of ruin and desolation Charleston Courier. . Iloraeo Greeljr Iaxterproted. In an. article (editorial) on the National Capital Convention at Cin cinnati, the Times of that city says:'. . We have been shown an autograph letter from Horace Greely to Li U. Reayis, Esq of St. Louis, who is tbe head and lroaVwf tha rMrvooacni. .. - Mr. Greely having written the let ter (in response to an invitation to be present at the - convention) -with his own fair hand,' it is rather difficult to decipher it. After two ho-.rs' intense study over the letter, we made out that he wasn t coming, but we are not quite certain regarding Jis sentiments on the question of . removing the capital. As near as we can gath er, however, from his hieroglyphics he "bases his butter of the 15th re-' sitting the codfish "cucumbers of Cin cinnati at 25 cents a pound." - "it ia not posible ,' continues Hor ace, "that I should stole . them again, Ab pudding ii a reproach to conic sections, the very gayest conveyances of our cemeteries are untrue, and our preserves are bankrupt. Swill your nicest cantetopes at Washington, until it swim in an unfortunate location.

Western ESlanettv! : The Yankee traveler who saw the live Hoosier has again written to . his mother, telling her his experience as follows : "Western people are death on etiquette. - You can't' tell a ' man here he lies without . fighting. A few days ago a man was; telling one of his neighbors, in my hearing: a pret ty large story. Says I 'stranger, that's a whopper.' Says - he, 'lay there, stranger, , and. in the twinkling of an eye I found myself in the ditch, - a perfect quadruped. Upon another occasion says 1 to a man 1 never saw before, as a woman passed, 'that is i't a specimen of your wetsern women is it f says he, youre afraid ot fever and ague, am t you r 'Very much,' says I. 'Well,' replied he, "that lady is my wife, and if you don't apologize in two minutes, by the honor of a gentleman, I swear that these two pie tola,' whieh he held cocked in h a hands, 'shall cure you of that disorder entirely.' So I knelt down and politely apologized. I admire the weetean country much; but darn if I can stand so much etiquette; it always takes me unawares.' One of lilneoln'e Storfoa. Among some anecdotes, said to be new, that have' just been finished by a personal acquaintance of President Lincoln is this: One evening during the last .Winter of the. President's life, when extremely busy and weary as well, after the many duties ot ; the day, he was called to the reception-room to see Mr. 'Speed, thenAttorney-General. ; ' The latter had called to introduce a friend ; and, seeing te President's face, he at once began to apologize for interrupting ' him. "1 am; ery sorry,"- said Mr. Speed, "very sorry, Mr. President, . to : disturb you." "Speed, he replied ,'yom remind me of a story of. Henry Ward Beecher. One Sunday, he ' was going to preach, he saw tome boys playing marbles on tbe street. ' He stopped looking at them hard. 'Boys.' he said presently, 'boys, I'm scared ; scared Then why don't you run Y answered the boys. - If you are sorry, Mr. Speed, why did you come 7" ' "Working for dear life," is defined to be "making clothe for 'a 'new baby." 1 ' NO. 4.

Now the wind batters at the easement, the children' shiver, the wife says, "really my, dear, you miuf. put up that stove. this day." Now are the sheet-iron, emporiums crowded with eager elamorers. Every man calls in 6tentorion 1 tones for a piece of pipe, and it is not the pipe of peace. ., For as he bears it joyfully home and erects it upon the mouth of his stove, there be divers discords. He pours soot on the car- pet, pou Dis ristoanas, Diacxens.ais lace, skins his knuckles, and finally it smokes from the wrong end. The joints have no affinity for each other. Blasphemy is said in some : eases to ensue. It . . ia provoking as driving hogs. ' There was formerly a, deacon up in Wisconsin who swore once a year', and -only once; ' id November, and over his stove pipe or aader it perchance . At last his' pastor caught him at it cornered him right in the middle of bis peroration. After the compliments of the season had been exchanged, tbe deacon confessed and swore off in fact he signed a enema pledge always thereafter to restrain his evil passions and resist, the: tempter And he has faithfully kept the pledge For, ever since that day he has ' employed a genius from the shop to put-' up his fctovc-pipe. -..

A modern prophet thus predicts of tbe total eclipse of the sun, which takes place on the 22d of December inst: , , This will be one of the greatest of modern total eclipses of the sun that has ever taken place; .'for not only does it occur when the moon is particularly near ' the oarth, but at a period when the earth is nearest the sun, and also at the time of tha Winter solstice, the moon likewise occulting in the planet Saturn, the planet Venus on the same daj being in configuration with the moon, one degree sis minutes South, the. moon at the time approaching j..herconj auction with the planet Mercury, -whieh Latter body will be only one degree nineteen minutes south of the moon. Tn tha onnosite cart of the heavens. rr r j j both the planets' Jupiter (one degree seven minutes north), and the planet Uranus (only fifty-six .. minutes south of the tuoon), at a period " when the planet' J upiter ia- approaching an op- position to the sun,' which will take place ou the 13th ef December, ex e cuing a most powerful reciprocal attractive influence on each other, by the combined influence thus exercised by the sun, the. moon, Mercury, Venusj Jupiter, Uranus and the earth, all being near in a right line, a configuration that has not taken place for centuries, and which seldon occurs; consequently the effects on the earth will be considerable creating earthquakes, tidal waves, . storms, hurri canes, and cyclones. Similar config. orations, were present at the time of the total eclipse of the 16th of August, 186S, when Quito and Callao were destroyed , b earthquakes and tidal waves: but even then the influences were some what le than they will be on the 22d of December next. . -4 Trie eclipse will begin in tbe North Atlantic Ucean, the central line moving in a ' South-easterly direction. Crossing one part of Spain and the Mediterranean Sea, it enters Africa near Oran, and soon afterward attains its Southern limits. .

' Yor several days, ' says the Mobile Register of Sunday .'last. : there have been mysterious and vague rumors of a most remarkable meteorological phenomenon out at the . Catholic graveyard on Stone street,' above' the three' mile creek. -: It is asserted by those' who have seen it, that - for the last five days a gentle shower , has fallen continuously on the lot of the Le-moine family,' in which are buried Mr. Victor Lemoine and many others of his family. ; With a view tf getting at the facta of thlav t most extra ordinary affair we had last night an interview with Mr. L. D. Leuoiue, employed at Asa Holt's, a son of the deceased Victor Lemoine, who died in 1851, who related : the iollowins startling particulars: . , h - Having heard that it was reported. that it had been raining for several days on the inalosod : ground which forms. my family's burying-ground in tbe . Uuthoiic graveyard on Stone street, above the Three Mile creek, I drove out there last evening to satisfy myseir, ana to my astonishment A saw that a column of rain was coming down without ceasing, whioh, although not powerful enough to lay the dust was enough to wet tbe hands or any article of clothing, and at times' it rained quite hard- i Ihe volume - of rain fell inside the .inclosure and nowhere else, as the . weather was and has been bright and clear all the time during the five ' days . the rain has been falling ou - these graves. There are thirteen of mv family buried in the lot of ground upon which the rain has been falling.: My mother, brother, and - sisters visited the spot yesterday and tbe day before to satisfy themselves about the truth of this matter, and declare that they too saw this wonderful phenomenon. It has also been seen by over 200 persons. I took a friend with me when I visited the spot, who also saw the rain falling as described. Mr. John Rosset, the keeper of the cemetery, told me that the rain had commenced falling in heavy drops about five days ago. I am willing to take my oatn as to the truth of the statement." . So incredible did this extraordinary affair seem that those who saw it several days ago refrained from stat-iug or asxertiag what they have seen for fear that not only their veracity, bat their sanity would be questioned, and it was not until a number of gen tlemen of the firat respectability had seen and reported the result of their personal observation, any credence was attached to the truth of the mat ter. . Take it altogether, it is the most astounding; and miraculous atuios pheric wonder that has ever been wit nessed in this part of the world, and will doubtless afford iood for thought, research and observation, not only among scientific men, . but among all classes. There are so many to vouch lor the truth of Mr. JLemome s state ment and his character for veracity is suchj that there can no longer be any doubt of the fact that : it - has been raining for the past five days on the graves of bis kindred. TtpaSovtb Carolina Farce. Every day there reaches us fresh inteligence of the fraudulent manner by which the recent election has been carried. These are nukrant, and sum cient to set aside the whole election, if there was any tribunal to which justice and right could make its appeal.' In this county alone, outside of the city, armed colored bands, styling themselves the "militia," surrounded the polls and ' insisted upon inspecting the ' tickets of the voters, and thus,-to a ' great extent, either drove off those of the ' colored race who wished to vote the Reform ticket or iotimidated them into i the support of the - Radical nominee.: ' The few white men present were powerless. They voted in peril. - In , some cases they were not permitted to vote,at all. This was- the case at ' the Wappataw Church polL . And so with. - others Colored women, in some parts of the State, were allowed to vote for their sick husbands, lni many ; portions neither managers nor voters were sworn. In some counties more votes were cast than wales over 21 years of age, as taken by the recent - United States census.. And we doubt not, when the returns are all in, it will be fouud that where the Radicals had the supremacy, to produce the result, nearly every colored person over seventeen yea's of age was permitted to vote. Thus, with the intimidation on the one hand, and . the utmost license and fraud, it ; is not astonishing that the Reform - party should have been defeated- ; No movement can ever be successful where .'here is not permitted a fair, free, and unbiased election. . For . instance, what would be thought of an , election in New York,. where the Radical party alone should be allowed to go armed to the polls; where they demanded the inspection of ..votes; where they charged and destroyed obnoxious biL lotboxes; where they .voted minors and women: where those,: of the op posite party had their tickets destroy- ea aua ineir , votes , lnumiaaiea, tor exercising their right in the presence of an armed mob? Who ever heard before, in the history , of a free elec tion, ef the managers and Coramta sioners of Elections being fall appointed by the chief candidate for office himself, all of one party, many of them candidates for office, and of their having the custody and the counting of the votes tn an election which tbey were personally interested?.' We will venture to say that such an election, where there has ' been the slightest pretence to therihtof ballot, is with out a parallel. In tbe ' past, the in telligence and the real voice of South 1 j I. Carolina hare had no audience at the North.- ' Its appeal to candor, justice and right, have been ; unheeded. ' Its statement of the real condition of affairs, and its just demands against oppression under ihe ; forms of law; the worst sort of tyranny, and for honest government have been ic vain.- The ear of the North . is. eagerly 'lent to those who are the ' defamers of the State", and who have trampled under foot every vestige of liberty, violated every sentiment of right, and brought the State to the . very: verge of ruin and desolation Charleston Courier. . Iloraeo Greeljr Iaxterproted. In an. article (editorial) on the National Capital Convention at Cin cinnati, the Times of that city says:'. . We have been shown an autograph letter from Horace Greely to Li U. Reayis, Esq of St. Louis, who is tbe head and lroaVwf tha rMrvooacni. .. - Mr. Greely having written the let ter (in response to an invitation to be present at the - convention) -with his own fair hand,' it is rather difficult to decipher it. After two ho-.rs' intense study over the letter, we made out that he wasn t coming, but we are not quite certain regarding Jis sentiments on the question of . removing the capital. As near as we can gath er, however, from his hieroglyphics he "bases his butter of the 15th re-' sitting the codfish "cucumbers of Cin cinnati at 25 cents a pound." - "it ia not posible ,' continues Hor ace, "that I should stole . them again, Ab pudding ii a reproach to conic sections, the very gayest conveyances of our cemeteries are untrue, and our preserves are bankrupt.

Western ESlanettv! : The Yankee traveler who saw the live Hoosier has again written to . his mother, telling her his experience as follows : "Western people are death on etiquette. - You can't' tell a ' man here he lies without . fighting. A few days ago a man was; telling one of his neighbors, in my hearing: a pret ty large story. Says I 'stranger, that's a whopper.'

'Well,' replied he, "that lady is my wife, and if you don't apologize in two minutes, by the honor of a gentleman, I swear that these two pie tola,' whieh he held cocked in h a hands, 'shall cure you of that disorder entirely.' So I knelt down and politely apologized. I admire the weetean country much; but darn if I can stand so much etiquette; it always takes me unawares.' One of lilneoln'e Storfoa. Among some anecdotes, said to be new, that have' just been finished by a personal acquaintance of President Lincoln is this: One evening during the last .Winter of the. President's life, when extremely busy and weary as well, after the many duties ot ; the day, he was called to the reception-room to see Mr. 'Speed, thenAttorney-General. ; ' The latter had called to introduce a friend ; and, seeing te President's face, he at once began to apologize for interrupting ' him. "1 am; ery sorry,"- said Mr. Speed, "very sorry, Mr. President, . to : disturb you." "Speed, he replied ,'yom remind me of a story of. Henry Ward Beecher. One Sunday, he ' was going to preach, he saw tome boys playing marbles on tbe street. ' He stopped looking at them hard.
